Hey Guys, I need your help!
Last year I purchased a ’47 Stylemaster Coupe from a guy named Gary Barna. He Is located in Newton CT.
I bought the car with all the good parts stored inside for shipping.
This is what I know about it….
– sold by Gary Wheeler? (Hamton VA) on nov. ’69 to Eduard H Pressmar (Newton CT)
– color when manufactured – dark green
– color when sold – gray
– color now – black primer
– killsticker on window 3 x 1971 / 3 x 1972
– timeslips and title see pictures
now the BIG question…..did anybody know or remember this car?
I would really love to see a picture of this car in the ’70s.
Thanks for you help
best regards

You have a good start and a lot of documentation, you should get a hit, your in the right place. Be patient.

I always thought that C/A was Lagana’s car the one with the battery on trunk. In any case it’s a Plymouth.

This is not a Joke!
I’m still here in Germany and working on this Car to get in back on the track!
The only time to work in the garage is from January to April. The rest of the year I have to make the Money for the Car 😆
But believe me, I take this serious! I wan’t to drive it next August. I don’t care how it may look, but I drive it! 🙂
I send a PM to the “Track Historian” Dover1320. Maybe he can get me some information.
I wondered if there is any Paperwork about the Winners. The Car was a 6 time Classwinner and nobody knows it…
When the ODF’s are interested, I’ll ad some Pictures of the build in the next month.

Are you the one that would like to put an M&M emblem or sticker on your car?? If so, we(Rich and I) would think it was very cool. You have our permission to go forward with your plan. If you PM Dino, he might be able to hook you up with some big stickers, or some small ones so you could copy them in paint or vinyl. ………….Mikey
Hey Mikey…
Yes, you’re right! Thank you that you let me do this. I think the M&M logo’s will help to give the car an original and period perfect look that it deserve!
I have the Timeslips with the Logo on the backside so I can copy them.
I want to make the car Race ready till August so I can take part on a pre ’58 Drag Race in the near.
When it’s all together and in working condition I want to pain it and do the letterng!
I gonna post some Pictures in the next days….
